“Those decisions that they make live with them for the rest of their lives and every soldier that goes over there has his version of that,” he said.

He added that America needs to do a better job engaging and welcoming these soldiers. He said that he hopes the film can help them do that.

“My hope is that this enables us to understand a little bit more about what these soldiers go through and in doing that maybe we can welcome them home in a way that we weren’t able to before,” he said. “Maybe we can understand what they go through and be able to engage them in a conversation, so they don’t feel like they’re so alone with all this turmoil and all these decisions they made.
